4) Action: individuals do something and take that big
step.
5) Maintenance: becoming used to action, becomes a
habit/routine (e.g., teens having protected sex).

and refereezing).
What is the Socio-Ecological Model? -Dynamic system, community as client: individual,
interpersonal, organizational, community, society.
-Use the model to GO BEYOND SIMPLE EDUCATION!
-Determine actions at the various levels that will
augment education:
>Laws - societal level because it tends to involve
national laws/policies.
>Family involvement - interpersonal level because it
surrounds the individual, acts as a network for a person.
>Environmental changes - community level because its
associated with a larger group (e.g., neighborhoods,
